Asaram believed that sexual exploitation of girls is not a sin for a ‘Brahmgyani’ or a highly enlightened person, a prosecution witness had deposed to the court during the trial that ended yesterday in a life-sentence for the self-styled godman.
Asaram also used to take medicines to increase sexual prowess, said prosecution witness Rahul K Sachar, an Asaram follower, in his deposition forming part of the 453-page judgement convicting the self-styled godman and his two accomplices for raping a 16-year-old girl nearly five years ago.
Mr Sachar, who was close to Asaram and had access to his ‘kutia’ or abode, deposed that he had seen Asaram molesting girls in his ashrams in 2003 in Pushkar (Rajasthan), Bhiwani (Haryana) and Ahmedabad (Gujarat).
